   I’m an Obama supporter also, but this race is FAR from over. McCain has actually closed the gap in most polls that I’ve seen in the past few days. Barack is going to have to kick McCain’s ass in the debates to really gain the confidence of swing voters IMO.

   One thing Obama has to do on the Iraq issue is admit the succuss of the surge in many respects. The successes of the surge are the reason for the 2010 withdrawal date talk.
   However, Obama still has scoreboard on Iraq, because we never should have gone in there to begin with. The reasons for the invasion proved to be forgesi, and just because less soldiers are dying now doesn’t mean that any needed to die there to begin with. Nor did we need do blow the 100s of billions of dollars on the war over there when Afghanistan is looking uglier, and our econony is struggling. Obama needs to make these arguments in an artful way, but he must admit surge success.

   Let’s say Bush decides to invade Mexico to expand our territory. It would be misguided, sick and wrong, but there is still a right way and a wrong way to achieve military victory. The surge was the “right” way over Rumsfeld’s stupidity, but that doesn’t make the initial invasion any less misguided. It also doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t give a country its control back as soon as possible, while cleaning up our mess.

   JT, I can understand the sentiment, but that kind of talk is one of the things we criticize the loons on the left for. I think that’s a bit over the top for a conservative blog that tries to maintain some measure of decorum.

   sonofdy,

   My Dad is a decorated vet from Vietnam and I grew up an Army brat. He always said that the unqualified Lt or Capt was subject to getting fragged.

   This is why he surrounded himself with the a top a notch Sgt. and other top non-coms. Then he listened to them.

   Obama is unqualified. And everything about the world tour is staged.

    misstressjustice, for example did you know that obama plans to leave up to 60,000 troops in iraq? and that hese will all be support troops and trainers? Do you know how bad of an idea it is to leave support units in isolated territory? Obama plans to increase the army and marines by 65,000 and 27,000 respectively. Thats good because he will need them to extract the 60,000 he will leave isloated and marked for destruction in detail.

    Bush Admits Iraq Had No Weapons of Mass Destruction, No Link to 9/11
    Monday August 21, 2006
    The following transcript snippet is taken from this morning’s presidential news conference. This exchange took place near the end of President George W. Bush’s remarks and responses.

    In this excerpt, the President flatly refutes the two reasons he and his administration used to goad Congress and frighten the American public into the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

    This is the first time the President or Vice President have publicly admitted that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, and was not connected to the 9/11 attacks.

    “BUSH: Now, look, I — part of the reason we went into Iraq was — the main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn’t, but he had the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction…

    You know, I’ve heard this theory about, you know, everything was just fine until we arrived and, you know, kind of — the “stir up the hornet’s nest” theory. It just doesn’t hold water as far as I’m concerned. The terrorists attacked us and killed 3,000 of our citizens before we started the freedom agenda in the Middle East. They were –

    QUESTION: What did Iraq have to do with that?

    BUSH: What did Iraq have to do with what?

    QUESTION: The attack on the World Trade Center.

    BUSH: Nothing, except for it’s part of — and nobody’s ever suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack. Iraq was a — Iraq — the lesson of September the 11th is take threats before they fully materialize, Ken.

    Nobody’s ever suggested that the attacks of September the 11th were ordered by Iraq.

    Heck google it, or Youtube, but you can argue with the pres if you want to.

    The 550 tons of yellowcake were known to be present in Iraq before the war. The UN inspectors had secured them. They weren’t removed previously because they required truck transport to the Baghdad airport, a formerly dangerous route.

    missjustice,

    You can take that Aug 2006 article and stick it. One thing you must give to Bush is that he didn’t phony up the evidence, when he could of Fed Ex’ed the material in to be found.

    The fact that nuclear material has been found, even at this date, makes going into Iraq valid. Everyone including the Dems and Bill Clinton said he Saddam had them. Even the Dems made the case for war.

    It does not make going into Iraq valid.

    I can think of one big eared democrat that was running for the state senate who didn’t buy it. Maybe things would have been different had he been in Congress, but he has the moral high ground now. The few people who voted against the war were correct. I don’t care what the intelligence said. Sanction, sanctions, sanctions, and investigate further. According to Clarke, Bush was looking to invade Iraq immediately after 9/11. A lot of those dems got caught up in the post 9/11 vengeance. Many have apologized and regret their votes. Bill Clinton was a hawk, and you won’t see me defend his foreign policies.

    Tell me. Are you fellas ready to invade North Korea? How about Iran?

    Hussein killing his own people wasn’t our problem. A brutal dictator butchering his own, is no reason to invade and liberate. The Sododfy Doctrine would have us in perpetual war, especially in Africa.

    Why do you support a follower of black liberation theology then?

    I think Obama joined the church for politcal reasons to make Chicago and Civil Rights connections. It bit him in the ass. Nothing else in his life gives me cause for concern that he is some kind of radical or militant. He’s not perfect by any means, but I’m not going to waste my vote on Nader or a right-in. I’m a democrat, and I want a democrat making judicial appointments.

    Derel, what is your proof for the above? The glowing MSM coverage?

    Liberals, like you, never understand that WISHING something is true doesn’t MAKE it true.

    Being tied in the polls does not constitute “crushing” McCain. In fact, it is very worrying to many Democrats right now, such as Susan Estrich. Gore and Dukakis were far ahead at this time.

    I guess things were “pretty grim” when Dukakis was beating George Bush by 20 points in the polls in July 1988.

    Obama is tied right now, a terrible sign for his campaign.

    By the way, why are you commenting on this site? How much are you getting paid to try to divide conservatives and convince them that Obama is already president and they may as well not vote?

    I don’t think conservative support for McCain is as strong as it was for Bush, but McCain is running against the most liberal senator out there.
    That is also prbably why the moderate Democrats are shying away from the VP slot. Despite Obamania, having someone so far left on the top of ticket could affect the “Blue Dog” Democrats, as well as the seats taken in 2006 from Republicans.
